Rampage

The numbers tell a modest story. Four wins from 58 races works out to roughly 1 in every 15, a win rate of around 7%, which is on the low side even for a horse competing at this level. Eighteen placed finishes suggest Rampage is not without ability — it has been close enough on plenty of occasions — but converting that into a win has proven difficult. The most recent victory came at Dundalk on 12 July 2025, which is now ten months ago, and the last six runs have produced finishing positions of 11th, 7th, 13th, 8th, 6th, and 7th. Not catastrophic, but not threatening the front either.

The partnership with jockey James Ryan is the most consistent thread in this horse's career. They have raced together 34 times, which is a significant chunk of Rampage's entire career, and Ryan has steered the horse to 3 of its 4 wins — a win rate of 9% together, which is meaningfully better than the overall career average. When this pair clicks, something is clearly working. The first win of the career came at Leopardstown in July 2023, which is a well-regarded track, and that suggests Rampage is capable of performing at decent venues when conditions align.

One thing worth noting is the horse's record on normal ground — 2 wins from 11 races at 18%, which means it wins roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 times conditions are right. That is a genuinely solid number and stands in sharp contrast to the overall career picture. It suggests Rampage is not a horse for all weathers, and the yard would do well to be patient and wait for the right day. Trainer T G McCourt, based at Stamullen in County Meath, has sent out 14 winners this season, so the yard is in decent form. Rampage raced just one day ago, which means it is being kept busy — and with the right ground underfoot, another moment in the sun is not out of the question.
